While the club expects every contestant to to read the rules (duh ;-) our Faculty Club Sponsor (Larry Langellier) has volunteered to answer questions about interpretation of said rules. Please note that before asking any questions you must demonstrate that you have read the rules and are just having trouble understanding what they mean. Specifically, questions will not be answered about how many points a mission is worth, etc.

All contestants are asked to start asking clarification questions via the MVCC Robotics Yahoo Groups list as soon as possible. The rules are a lot more complicated than they may seem at first, so definitely expect to have questions. Try to be as specific as possible - if you can quote the areas that you are asking about, that would probably work best.

There are some web-based resources out there that you may find helpful (score sheet, videos, diagrams of the mat, etc.). Google is your friend… A few searches you might want to try are "Power Puzzle score sheet", "building robot for FIRST Lego League", and "power puzzle mat". A few sites that will be helpful include:
